Not sure how the conversation went from the drug they want to remove Phenylephrine (as being ineffective,) to pseudoephedrine, (the one used as an ingredient for making meth.) But, I know for a fact that Benadryl does work for allergies. I did an online search at Walmart for the drugs they sell that have the ingredient they say doesn’t work—Phenylephrine.
